Present Day Chicago Outfit

[Frank]

Also wasn't the term #1 and #2 used to describe the operating boss and the underboss. Not the top boss.

[Pete]

Operating bosses were, to the best of my knowledge:

Giancana
Battaglia
Cerone
Alderisio (possibly, leaning towards "no")
Aiuppa
Carlisi
DiFronzo
Monteleone
Tornabene
Marcello
Sarno
DeLaurentis

You don't have Joey A in there at all? thought andriacchi was acting while difronzo was in jail and was before apes? I believe on the calabrese wiretaps andriacchi was mentioned as being the boss at some point as well

[Confederate]

Did Nick or Frank Calabrese say anything about Tornabene? Was he part of Cicero or 26th St?

[Snakes]

Melrose Park

Andriacchi probably acted for DiFronzo when he did his 1 year stretch. DiFronzo probably knew he had a good chance to get out on appeal so he didn't relinquish the boss position entirely when he went away. Sure enough, his lawyers sprung him.

[Frank]

Yes . Carlisi was aquited in same case. Has anyone seen anything about Tornabene being underboss from about 1993 to 2001. I know I read something about it, but it was a few years ago. That would fit in with him being acting boss or boss from Monteleone death till Marcello got released.

[Snakes]

He was Monteleone's #2. Not sure if that means he was underboss or not.

[Snakes]

He was looking after Melrose Park for Marcello under Monteleone. Spano was running Cicero at the same time.

[Nicholas]

Does anyone have stories of guys from different families of differing geographic areas interacting in prison; i.e. Wiseguys from Chicago associating with New York or Philly/Jersey guys while incarcerated?

[JeremyTheJew]

back when i first came to these boards in 06....

the Chicago battle would be "whos more powerfull chicago or NYC"

a lot has changed from then. that was around fam secrets. i think this was mentioned before but theres a news video where the news runs up to dofronzo asking him questions abkut who he just met w etc and he just kinda played dumb

[Snakes]

Frank Sr got pissed at Joe LaMantia (not made) in prison for introducing him to some East Coast guys as made.

[Pete]

Frank Sr got pissed at Joe LaMantia (not made) in prison for introducing him to some East Coast guys as made.

In frank jrs book he says sr spent most of his time in prison hanging out with made guys. Didn't mention any names but I think they were east coast guys

[smoker]

They were Patriarca guys.

Shorty LaMantia was a made man.

[smoker]

There are Outfit/east coast relationships. Solly D is good friends with Agnello, they spent years in the can together & Gottis recommended Bruce Cutler to Solly.

Pudge Matassa is married into the Genovese family.

Obviously Tommy Ebolis kid was one of the most beloved Outfit soldiers ever & eventually became capo (probably would have taken over the Outfit had he lived)

Rocky Infelise was busted on some shit with decav guys in the 60s

Im sure there's a lot more if one were to dig

[Snakes]

Sr said himself that LaMantia wasn't made. I wouldn't necessarily call Eboli "well-liked" either. More the opposite.

[Frank]

Carmen and Anthony DiNunzio were Outfit associates at one time.
